I have a 2 year old cat with possible IBS and am about to start giving him probiotics. The best available as far as I can see is Bioglan biotic balance ultimate flora but it states in the ingredients that the S boulardii is cultured from Lactose/milk protein. Will it be alright to give to my cat. I live in the UK so choice is limited.

. Have you any experience with probiotics?
I don't think I do, I'm afraid. I have a memory of trailing them with my old greyhound though. I'll do some digging and see what I can find/remember for you.

Thank you.
The one I tried Pix on doesn't look suitable, but I found a few feline ones to try (I'm a little old fashioned in that I feel safer using species-specific supplements where I can 
).

Bioglan are a very reputable company for supplements etc. I use a lot of them myself! I don't think there'd be an issue with the bacteria being cultured from milk proteins. It's the lactose itself that is most likely to cause issues, and that won't be present in the probiotic
If you want a dairy free supplement, check out Solgar's vegan range. They're another great quality company (and, again, I've been using some of their products of years ). I use bodykind | Quality Natural Health and Beauty Products | Vitamins, Minerals, Omega 3 and Beauty for a few of my pricier supplements, as they tend to have very good prices, especially if you buy multiple bottles at a time.
I hope some of this helps

. I would prefer to use a species specific also. I will have a good read of your attachments and choose which to try. I appreciate the trouble you are going to.
